IT recycling is the last route, not the product

Process

1. 01 · Sanitise first

   Media is not mixed scrap on day one.

2. 02 · Decide

   Reuse, harvest, or WEEE. Recycle is the remainder.

3. 03 · Route

   WEEE-compatible channels. Duty of care stays with you until the chain closes.

4. 04 · File

   WEEE papers and destruction certificates are different lines.

Evidence

• UK WEEE duty-of-care file exists because that is the legal question.
• Responsible-recycling service page states recycle is last resort.
• About/waste is an empty file until the operator name can be checked.
